If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Keith Busch [ Upstream commit 48f78be3326052a7718678ff9a78d6d884a50323 ] The code had been clearing a namespace being deleted as the current path while that namespace was still in the path siblings list. It is possible a new IO could set that namespace back to the current path since it appeared to be an eligable path to select, which may result in a use-after-free error. This patch ensures a namespace being removed is not eligable to be reset as a current path prior to clearing it as the current path.
